No
The document does not mention AI, ML, or any related technologies in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The focus is on standard ultrasound imaging and guidance.

No
The device provides ultrasound imaging for guidance during procedures, but it does not directly treat a disease or condition itself.

No

The device is described as providing ultrasound imaging for guidance during placement of needles and catheters, not for diagnosing a condition or disease. Its function is to assist in a medical procedure, not to identify a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components: "Ultrasound Probe and Cable" and "Tablet PC", in addition to the software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to examine these samples outside of the body.
  • VascuView Function: The VascuView ultrasound system provides imaging of structures within the body (peripheral vascular structures) to guide procedures (needle and catheter placement). It does not analyze samples taken from the body.

The description clearly indicates that the device is an ultrasound system used for real-time imaging and guidance during medical procedures, which falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

Description of the Device

The VascuView ultrasound system provides ultrasound imaging of peripheral vascular structures in order to provide for ultrasound guldance for placement of needles and catheters in these structures. The VascuView system consists of the following components:

Ultrasound Probe and Cable. The handheld ultrasound probe is the Interson SR 7.5 MHz USB ultrasound probe (the same as the predicate device listed previously). The probe consists of a single-element mechanical sector scanner that contains the ultrasound pulser and receiver within the hand piece. It has a push button to activate scanning and capturing of images and video clips. The probe is connected to the Included USB cable. The fundamental scan frequency (excitation frequency) is 7.5 MHz, allowing visualization of vessels at depths of 0.5 to 6.0 cm. The nose cone of the ultrasound probe is made of blocompatible material sufficient for its use (RT-18 TPX Polymethyl Pentene).

Tablet PC. A Kiosk tablet pc is provided which facilitates intuilive touch screen operation. The tablet pc is provided with a medical-grade power supply and medical-grade power cord. The pc provides a 5 vdc power supply to the ultrasound probe via the USB cable. The pc also provides for the operation of the software and storage of archived images and video clips.

VascuView Software. All features and controls of the system are provided for in the VascuView software which comes pre-loaded onto the tablet pc. The VascuView software uses an iconbased interface whereby the user can select any of the primary functional screens at any time by clicking on an icon located on the screen, for that function. The software enables ultrasound image capture and review, image controls for near, mid, and far gain, as well as image intensity and contrast, linear measurement calipers, image depth grid lines, zoom, display of needle guide lines, and printing.

Intended Use

The VascuView ultrasound system provides ultrasound imaging of peripheral vascular structures in order to provide for ultrasound guidance for placement of needles and catheters in these structures. The VascuView ultrasound system is not intended for fetal or ophthalmic applications.

The intended use of the VascuView system is slightly more limited than that of the Interson USB Ultrasound Probe System in that it's intended use does not include visualization of small organs (although that intended use was for the range of probes cleared under K070907). Likewise, the intended use of the VascuView system is also more limited than the Sonosite iLook 25, although the iLook 25 is marketed for vascular access.

Technological Characteristics Compared with Predicate Devices

The VascuView Ultrasound System utilizes the Interson model SR 7.5 MHz ultrasound probe, which was previously cleared under K070907 (formerly referred to as model number VC 7.5 MHz ultrasound probe - see Attachment 5A). The probe is indicated for use for peripheral vascular and small organ (intended for use in biopsy). The scope of the application for the VascuView has been limited to just peripheral vascular, primarily for assistance in vascular access (see Attachment 5B for transducer indication for use form). There are no differences or modifications made to the Interson probe.

The differences between the iLook 25 and the VascuView Ultrasound System include that the iLook is a dedicated device, while the VascuView system utilizes a tablet pc. This makes little difference in the actual use of the device since the VascuView is set up to launch immediately into the VascuView software. The VasculView does provide for a significantly larger screen, approximately 4 times greater in viewing area to aid in visualization. Additionally, while the il ook 25 is limited to storage capacity of 74 images, the VascuView system has virtually unlimited storage (tens of thousands of images on tablet pc hard drive and ability to connect external hard drives if additional storage is required).

The iLook 25 also provides a power Doppler mode that is intended indicate by different colors (red or blue) directionality of blood flow within vessels which, given the anatomical location of the vessel and orientation of the ultrasound probe, assists the user in determining whether the vessel is a vein or artery. This determination may also be made in either the iLook 25 or the VascuView system by observing whether the vessel is pulsing (indicating an artery) or not (indicating a vein), in addition to anatomical location.

The iLook 25 incorporates a linear array, while the VascuView system utilizes a single-element sector scan transducer. The linear array allows a deeper penetration by the il.ook (deeper than that typically required for peripheral vascular), although a narrower profile. The sector scan sweep of the VascuView provides for a full 60° viewing angle at a depth of up to 6.0cm (sufficient for peripheral vascular). Therefore, the VascuView provides a greater field of view which combined with the larger monitor offers an enhanced resolution of scan.

The stated measurement accuracy of the iLook 25 is ±2% plus 1% full scale, while the VascuView has a slightly better measurement accuracy of ±2% plus 0.5% full scale.

Non-Clinical Performance Data

The VascuView has been tested and assessed as compliant with the requirements of several international safety standards, including IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-4, and IEC 60601-2-37 (including acoustic output limits), and others. Additionally, the measurement accuracy of the VascuView system was confirmed via a measurement validation test protocol using wire phantoms. The software has been also been validated using a test protocol.

Clinical Performance Data

None submitted.

Conclusions from Non-Clinical (and Clinical) Data

Based upon the results of the data as summarized above, the VascuView system has demonstrated that it is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate devices. Furthermore, based on the comparison with the predicate devices as shown in the discussion above, as well as guidance provided by FDA 510(k) Substantial Equivalence Decision-Making Process Flowchart, the Escalon Vascular Access VascuView ultrasound system is deemed to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
